I like it. I'd say lower it but you're an AWD guy so I know you already have that in mind along with the consequences. I agree that the mesh would probably look better black than white. Good job!

thanx, yeah im a lil leary about lowering it, scared of the wobble vibrating syndrome and possibly damaging the axles in the long wrong. still not 100% either way yet so we'll see

Lower it with RCA's or get the drive shaft spacer and drop it an inch. I would try the RCA's first.

Maybe paint the L black when you have the mesh painted. Think the black/white contrast would like nice and flow better with the mesh!

Cars coming along very nice

The axle spacers can be made by a machine shop, up in the suspension section theres a link for the measurements another member who went thru trial and errors to get it

yea really would like to drop it but am concern with the long run damage to the axles, but still doing some research more than likely I will go with some coilovers

I'm gonna try coilover and RCA's. IIRC a few members on here have tried RCA's w/ no issues. As well as a few members trying 1 inch drop fsport springs w/ no issues. So my theory is that RCA's plus one more inch of drop, should be fine. We'll see. Maybe someone will try it before I do. Not looking to spend the money until later on this year (read/spring summer).
